Community Kitchen Academy

Community Kitchen Academy (CKA) is a job training program that prepares underemployed and unemployed Vermonters for careers in the food service industry.

Students develop and apply new skills by rescuing food that would otherwise be wasted from grocery stores, restaurants, farms and food service companies. They work with instructors to transform this food and create meals that are then distributed through food shelves and meal sites.

Additionally, CKA graduates can receive nine college-level academic transfer credits from the Vermont State College of External Programs.

Prospective Students

The hands-on instruction and college-level academic work required of CKA graduates makes them ideal candidates for positions in the culinary industry. Please contact CKA to find the right employee for your business.
